The Saudi Arabian Government is firing on protesters, as is Libya’s Mercenary force hired by Moammar Kadhafi, as the Middle East continues to implode in scenes reminiscent of those in the Book of Revelation.

Back in America, the Wisconsin General Assembly passed Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-trimming measure to make state government union employees actually pay something toward their own retirement plan, as professional protestors, including the Reverhuuund Jacksooooon, had the world’s largest hissy fit, storming the capitol, and sleeping on the marble floor, like they were having a Woodstock flashback. Their temper tantrum was even more out of control than the one Charlie Sheen had.

Remember when former (thank you, Lord) Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said this?

Where was all that faux concern yesterday, hmmmm?

At the same time, Rep. Peter King opened his hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims. If you listened to the Democrats as they whined and cried when they spoke, you would have thought Rep. King was tar and feathering the entire Islamic Religion.

And the way the Democrats treated the Muslim American parents who spoke out about their children being recruited by Terrorists, was disgusting.

Who do they think they are?

Then, we awoke this morning to find out that the largest earthquake in Jan’s history since 1900, an 8.9 magnitude, has produced a Tsunami which is barreling toward the Aleutians, Hawaii, and the Left Coast of the 57 48 states.

So, where was the Leader of the Free World? No, not Sarkozy. Obama.

He and the First Lady, Michelle (ma belle) were hosting a White House Conference on bullying.

Ol’ Scooter told his captive audience that his large ears and funny sounding name (Barry?) made him a target of bullying.

I have to say, with big ears and the name that I have, I wasn’t immune. I didn’t emerge unscathed.

I suppose his snotty, smart-aleck nature had nothing to do with it at all. But, I digress…

Obama went on to say that torment and intimidation must not be tolerated.

According to the White House, 13 million students, a third of all those attending school, are bullied every year. Academic experts say that puts them at greater risk of falling behind in their studies, abusing drugs or alcohol, or suffering mental or other health problems. Kids who are seen as different because of their race, clothes, disability or sexual orientation are more likely to be bullied.

Gee, Dinozzo.  Ya think?

And bullying is supposed to be something new?

Scooter pontificated:

If there’s one goal of this conference, it’s to dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It’s not.

Bullying can have destructive consequences for our young people. And it’s not something we have to accept.

The Leader of the Free World spent his day speaking to more than 100 parents, students, teachers and others at the conference designed to “discuss the problem and share ideas for solutions”.

The issue of bullying  has become the cause celebre of the Liberally concerned.  Apparently, bullying has found its way to America’s new technology as texting, Facebook, Twitter and other technologies are being used to carry it out. The perceived problem has been named cyberbullying, a term made popular by the media coverage of despondent teens who have committed suicide after someone called them names, or harassed them.

Where were the parents?

Families of some of those youngsters joined Obama at the White House.

Obama proclaimed:

No family should have to go through what these families have gone through. No child should feel that alone.

You’re right, Scooter. But raising a child is the responsibility of family, friends, and the church.  Not the Federal Government.

According to Obama a “national attitude adjustment” is in order, because of the damage that bullying can do.

Obama is trying to make bullying a part of his education agenda. Posters urging students to report bullying can be seen in public schools throughout America.

That noted food and nutrition and education expert, Michelle Obama, said parents need to be more involved in their children’s lives, their schools and their activities since youngsters “don’t always tell us every little detail.” According to Moochelle, her youngest daughter, 9-year-old Sasha, often says “Nothing” in response to questions about her day at school.

That’s when you actually sit down and talk to your daughter, ma’am.

The First Lady also urged adults to set an example by treating others with compassion and respect, and giving each other the benefit of the doubt.

According to Mrs. Obama:

It sends a message to our kids about how they treat others.

Well, duuuuuh!

You know, I was a little, sickly, asthmatic child with parents who were 40 years older than I was.  I was picked on constantly.  Then, one day, in 7th grade, as a bully about twice my size was picking on me, I smacked him right between the eyes with my size 2S drumsticks.  He left me alone after that.

Our Founding Fathers never meant for America to have a Nanny-state government.  Americans instinctively realize that, hence the results of November 2nd, 2011.

Given President Obama’s past history and predilection for wanting others to solve life’s problems for him, it’s no wonder that this Ship of State under Obama’s Capitancy is sailing so erratically.
